if you think it’s weird to follow a sewer utility’s content on this network, wait til you find out how long sewer utilities have been following your content on theirs.
I’m sure you never thought you should follow a public waste management utility on social media, but you really should follow NEORSD

I identify with every bit of this.
Everyone’s life moves at a different pace and comparing yourself to others is meaningless and even harmful but I still can’t help but feel like I’ve fallen behind every time I hear that another woman my age has already succeeded in befriending and commanding her own murder of crows.

As a native Ohioan, 😂
Moved to Ohio in June, and some of the pronunciations of cities is just...hard.
Delhi = Dell high
Lebanon = Leb eh nen
Bellefontiane = bell foun ten
Hebron = Hee brun
Scioto = Sigh OH tuh
And the number of names from other places: Russia, Delhi, Vienna, Versailles, Lima, Oxford...

Yep. And good morning to all of us greeting the new year at this early hour because our pets were freaking out.
I would like to apologize to dogs and cats on behalf of humans right now

Happy New Year to all of those who also didn't intend to be awake now but are comforting terrified dogs.

Always introduce and show the cat on the Zoom. It's just good manners.

I grew up just two counties south of the NEORSD and my Ohio heart loves the work they do to care for a rust belt watershed that needs the love. And they write poetry. 😍
rise, sun! we meet you.
a long-enduring night crew
has worked the darkened hours
serving
treating
nightwatch keeping.
and now this broken dawn,
a sign the morning has begun,
day crew starts its journey
toward a region free of worry
for our lake,
your water,
flows thru able hands.
